Boys

1. Hingham (8-0, 1) – On Saturday, the Harbormen were the first Massachusetts team to defeat Lincoln-Sudbury since 2014, a stretch of 58 games. Hingham already had the top spot on lockdown, but that win only solidifies it even more. The boys head to New Jersey to take on nationally-ranked Summit on Saturday. I would be surprised to see the Harbormen lose to an in-state opponent for the rest of the season, but there will be some stiff competition.

2. Cohasset (6-2, 3) – So about that 0-2 start. Cohasset has won its last six games with an average win margin of over 12 goals during that streak. Cohasset can lock up a South Shore League title in its next three games (Norwell on April 27, Abington on May 1 and Hull on May 3) before entering an absolute gauntlet of a non-league schedule.

3. Plymouth South (6-1, 4) – The Panthers continue to take care of business. South will be tested with some tough opponents in the next few weeks.

4. Scituate (7-1, 2) – The Sailors rebounded from their first loss of the season with a pair of solid wins over Norwell and Silver Lake.

On the bubble: Silver Lake (3-2), Weymouth (4-3), Norwell (5-5)
